SOTD:
Razor: Blackbird Ti SB
Blade: New Lord Platinum (1)
Pre-Shave: Proraso Green
Soap: Van Der Lovett Sailor's Blend
Brush: EJ87-6 SYNST
Aftershave: Pinaud Lilac Vegetal
My gratuitous Friday shave headlined this most auspicious line-up. Edwin Jagger makes a great brush. I've never owned an Edwin Jagger brush that I didn't cherish. My grail razor topped the shave as the finest in the world. I adore the New Lord Platinum blades. Combined with Van Der Lovett shaving soap, it was a matchless experience.
Following Shane's advice, I held my Blackbird razor like a pen. I was more relaxed with the method today and it felt natural. Maybe I've been using this grip for most of my shaves without realizing it. The previous shave I held the razor tight, and it felt rigid and unnatural. This shave was comfortable as if I had been using this technique all along.
Then there is the Veg! Imagine the old-school charm, predating Old Spice, reminiscent of Errol Flynn's era. As I sat on the porch, the fragrance of the aftershave mingled perfectly with the lilacs, creating an olfactory bliss. Ah, the simple pleasures. Life is good!
Cheers
